HX7 FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT

On Tuesday 1st November our football team took part in an inter-school football tournament at Calder High. Many of the Calder Valley Schools took part but it was the first time that our team had played together competitively.

We managed to win our mini-league which meant we got through to the semi-finals. We met Burnley Road Academy and, in a closely fought game, we came through a nervy penalty shoot-out and managed to sneak into the final!

In the final we met Luddendenfoot Academy and it was end-to-end; the entertainment levels were high as both teams went close to scoring in the first half. We kept the score to 0-0 but unfortunately, with only a few minutes to go Luddendenfoot got the winner. Staff and parents were immensely proud of the teams efforts; so close and yet so far.

Well done kids, you represented the school with pride and showed excellent teamwork and fair play throughout.
